Sorry if the title is confusing but basically many shows that follows kids through high school then through college have many more scenes and storylines involving high school then once you get to college, any school story gets scaled back significantly. I remember watching 90210 for the first time a few years ago and the first three seasons focused a lot on high school even if the overall plot wasn't about school for that episode. Once they got to college, the school scenes was way less and the school portion became less of a focus with more focus on outside nonsense, to the point you forget these "kids" are actually still in college. Buffy is similar in that the first three seasons puts a huge emphasis on them being in high school even if the overall plot of the episode was about something outside, you still see scenes of them just hanging out in school during the day. Once they get to college, even in season 4 where college got more focus than the succeeding seasons, the foucus on school was scaled back.

Now I'm not complaining an I understand the nature of the show and that things went bigger, stakes were higher so college was less of a priority to focus on but it is still a detail I always thought about. Even in season 7, Dawn goes to HS but way more scenes with Buffy working as a counselor and that only lasts like the first half of the season (plot wise I understand why, I'm complaining about the writing here) but it's a pattern for many of these shows where high school gets a ton of focus yet when they go to college, college is less of a focus and the writing shifts to outside storylines with school on existing when it is necessary for the plot.

Many people believe Dutch had lost all trust in Arthur by chapter 5 and maybe he didn’t value him as much as he did in the first two chapters but still in Guarma, Dutch trusted him. He trusted him enough to vent about how he thought John was the rat and how him and Abigail set the whole thing up. If he didn’t trust Arthur, he wouldn’t have shared his suspicions. Maybe he assumed Arthur would go “you know you may be on to something”, instead Arthur put all of his trust in John. I think his distrust happened slowly since Dutch would repeatedly make comments about how Arthur keeps questioning him. But Dutch keeps confiding in him. I think the last straw was breaking John out of jail since he never envisioned Arthur to go rogue like that. What I think happened was Micah kept pestering Dutch about Arthur but Dutch kept being “naive”. Once he broke out John was when Dutch finally went “man maybe Micah was right”. And from there he kept things very vague with Arthur and said shit like “just keep the faith”.

Btw I’m not claiming Arthur was a traitor but talking from Dutch’s POV

I know not every conservative is a Christian but it’s still whiplash in many conservative forums where there’s a big anti Israel stance. Reading Fox News comments about Israel and its overwhelming negative forwards that nation. I’m Christian, go to church and the consensus I always “Israel is right, defend them always”. I'm A/G denomination if that helps. I don’t remember the vitriol towards them ever like this. I expected it from the left but never from the right. Are Christians simply in their own bubble and island at the moment?

Everytime people on reddit or any form of social media discuss churches, they imply about the large mega churches like the Joel Osteens or the televangelists like Kenneth Copeland. Yet that’s only like 1% of the whole religion or whole Christian body. The VAST majority of Christian churches are small temples you’ll find in every town that has less 200 members and most evangelists you never see on TV (YouTube yes but that’s a smaller scale). Yet everytime people discuss Christianity online on reddit, people only describe the religion like the big mega churches in football stadiums and those tv preachers asking for money.

I made a post 2 weeks ago on how it was so dumb how in sim, the Bears offense would be so terrible. Ben Johnson offense shouldn't be 30th ranked every year in every offensive stat every year regardless who is in the roster. He was the OC of the Lions the previous game and the Lions playbook always had inflated stats. Should I switch to the Lions playbook since it may be similar to what Johnson ran for both teams? Because as someone who doesn't play every game, I can't have a team where Caleb Williams plays 17 games yet passes for less than 3k yards every season, he passed for almost 4k in real life.

I liked season 2 very much but something was off in terms of why I thought it didn't reach the highs of season 1 and after watching others react to season 1 I realized that season had way more sad outcomes and gut punch moments. Season 2 had it's share of deaths and emotional moments but way less than I remember season 1 having. Like episode 9 of season 1 had the girl who drowned pronounced dead and minutes later is the final goodbye to the parents who's son died taking drugs. Such a very somber last 10 minutes there. Also seemed like season 2 had more wins which was cool in the moment but did anyone think the heartbreak wasn't as big as in season 1? Am I off base and forgetting stuff?

I know HBO had tons of nudity in the mid 2000's to early 2010's but it seems recently there have been tons more in spanish speaking countries. Now don't get me wrong the over the top dramatic Latin American soaps are a guilty pleasure of mine. Remember I finished a show called Medusa and watched a new Spanish show which followed the same formula, sex, sex and more sex with nudity. Got me wondering, most American based shows are not like this, they are more tame and they get played safe. Euphoria is way more tame than Elite for example. I know many conservatives claim that society is disintegrating the last few years but America media is so damn prude compared to Latin shows. Why are those shows seemingly non stop sex with an over the top storyline on top of it? I'm actually not complaining but just curious at the cultural differences because it is eye opening how open latin America and Europe are about sex on TV while America can get pissy for something 5% obscene as those shows.

Some shows include Medusa (like I already mentioned), Elite, until you burn, unspeakable sins, Toy Boy, Dark Desires, Feria (possibly the most visual nudity of any show I've scene on there) Control Z just off the top of my head, there are many more.

Got helped out by Jose Soriano giving up 8 runs today but Cam has remained consistent and is now the ERA leader and possible Cy Young favorite

For those who have asked about Roman Reigns being removed from advertised Raw dates for June, we are told Reigns was advertised in error and that it was a mistake on the TKO/WWE side as to what dates he would be working.

It's not a case of an issue between Reigns and the company or an issue with the deal he signed in the run-up to Wrestlemania 42.

It was a clerical error.

I get that in real life they run more than pass and they don't pass for 400 yards a game but many years Caleb will pass for under 3k yards playing all year and always in the bottom 10 in all offensive stats. Playing with it, It's okay but you'd think Ben Johnson would have a more high powered offense in madden. Last year the Lions playbook was OP so I would have assumed the Bears would be similar. No reason Daboll's playbook is way more offensively potent in sim than Ben Johnson's. And yes I understand playbook is the drive force in stats in sim but why is Ben Johnson playbook performing like a worse version of Matt Nagy in sim? Where did things go wrong here?
